i hope they conclude as we have concluded -- and i speak for leader pelosi and myself and all the democratic leadership -- that we must come back as soon as possible to work together to reach compromise, to ensure that we address the important legislation that is still pending in this congress, a congress which i believe has been the least productive, most confrontational, the least compromising congress in which i have served, and i have been here since 1981. the senate tomorrow will consider the sandy supplemental legislation. hopefully they will pass that tomorrow or by saturday. certainly, the house of representatives needs to address that supplemental to give relief to those that were savaged by sandy in the worst storm that has hit the northeast perhaps in history. the violence against women act passed senate overwhelmingly, something that we could work on today. the farm bill expires on december 31. milk prices will spike substantially if that bill is left to expire. mr. cantor indicated that would be addressed before we left here at the end of the 112th congress. that is some six day

. >> host: nancy pelosi? >> guest: no, same situation. it's hard to argue with democrats in the minority in the house that she wills a tremendous amount of power now at large. she certainly has a power over her caucus, and she's a very powerful person, and she's an accomplished legislator, but now in terms of the moment we looked at in putting the list together, you know, -- >> host: not a player so to speak? >> guest: i wouldn't say not a player. there's, you know, hundreds of people who fall into a category who don't fit into the top 50 now. there's a weekly power list every week, and we've had a lot of people, you know, not on this list who are influencing the conversation week to week and day day-to-day. >> host: mike in ohio, thank you for waiting, an independent there. >> caller: hi, good morning. i got six people that are actually running the whole thing. number one is the president of the united states, head of the executive department, the speaker of the house, whoever it is from what party because they determine what legislation

representative pelosi accused house republicans of diverting attention to jobs and said it would hinder the passage of the transportation bill. current funding for transportation expires at the end of june. her briefing today is just over half an hour. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> this is a very interesting week because so many things are coming together or not. what we have seen is a shameful display of abuse of power by the republicans in the house of representatives. instead of bringing job-creating legislation to the floor, the transportation bill, they are holding the attorney general of the united states in contempt of congress for doing his job. it's really important to note how this is connected with some of their other decisions. it is no accident. it is no coincidence that the attorney general of the united states is the person responsible for making sure that voter suppression does not happen in our country, that issues that relate to the civil liberties of the american people are upheld. these very same people are holding in contempt and are part of a nationwide sche
